Correct as far as I have been able to determine. I just didn't know this was
happening. I setup the account years ago. Enabled smtp/pop3, bookmarked a
url to redo the password for security (every few weeks ya see) and didn't
look back. That was a bad move on my part.

Fortunatly, gmail hasn't been storing copies of my incoming emails (that I
could see), but it was keeping copies of outgoing emails. Another feature,
useful it could be, but.. not to me.

I am very sorry Rhonda, I have honored your no contact request for years.
This was out of my control.
